It's ok though there's like loud music from a near by place, the air conditioner it was low so I had to use my own fan. It was quite difficult to get to the upper bed. The staff are good. I didn't like much the vibe of the town as is super touristy, ran out by Europeans or foreigners. So I don't recommend this town. The hostel itself is ok. It doesn't have a kitchen where you can cook. Has quite a beautiful common area.
We booked last minute due to a change of plans.
The ladies at reception were helpful and accommodating.
Upon arriving we were informed that our room was being treated for smoke smells, so they switched us to another room for the first evening.
We were then supposed to move into our original room, but as the treatment hadn’t been completed yet, they put us up in a large double room (we had booked twin but this wasn’t too much of an issue as friends).
When we wanted to extend, the staff made things simple by extending us in that same room, rather than making us move again. This was appreciated!
They even drove us to White Beach when two of the staff had to go and collect something closeby. Private transport to Cebu was also organised through the front desk for a very good price.
Note that the hotel doesn’t offer its own laundry service or diving bit there are places down the road that offer these.
Make sure to put up the sign on the door if you want your room cleaned too!
They offer free snorkel/fin use, 2 pools and direct beach access. Breakfast was also included, which was reasonable and had lots of egg options - our favourite was the shakshuka.
The hotel is a bit off the beaten track but has direct beach access and is only 10 mins walk from the main street, where there are loads of yummy restaurants and great massage places!
Overall the hotel contributed to a great stay in Moalboal.
Удаленное от шума месторасположение,если бы не дорога до самого отела,то можно смело ставить 10! Но на байке проехать по такой дороге было не очень комфортно) Сам отель очень чистый,в номерах хороший ремонт,кондиционер,приятный запах)
Прекрасный пляж,чистый) можно делать фотографии и провожать солнышко на закате)
Из минусов-в номере не было сейфа,не было фена. Было бы здорово,если бы помогали донести вещи до номера при заселении,так как цена выше средней)
При отеле есть ресторанчик,цены не существенно выше)
Прекрасное место для пляжинга,вдали от шумной суеты)
It was good. It was a little bit far from Panagasama beach - around 20 min on foot, but it was quiet and calm here, no music, no karaoke. So we could sleep well there. We could rent scooter right in hotel for 350 peso per 24 hours, and came back it got deposit without any problem. At reception you can get free instant tea and coffee, refill your bottle with cold water. There was good wifi there, so I didn't buy local SIM card and I could work online in room. If I come back to Maolboal I defenetly will stay in this hotel.
Lovely hotel, clean bathroom with great water pressure on the shower. Really friendly staff who helped us book canyoneering and were always there to ask questions and book transport if needed. Close to panagsama beach where you can see the sardine run, close to the main ***** of bars and restaurants! Would definitely recommend and would stay again if we came back to Moalboal.
ผผู้เข้าพักTLDR: an amazing stay in general. Perfect for people seeking a getaway
The hotel is located a bit south to the moalboal town center (approx. 10min by tutuk or motorbike) and away from the main road. You’ll need to cross a bridge made of bamboo sticks first to find your entrance. It’s a quiet place where you can only hear the nature and your own thoughts.
I’d highly recommend the restaurant because they offer great food at a reasonable price, although takes some time to serve so order in advance. Kudos to the owners who are almost always present and will come to the table to introduce themselves and make recommendations if needed. Staff are well-trained and very helpful.
You’ll also get the chance to observe some of the wildlife species like birds and lizards while staying there, which is a plus for me.
A 10/10 experience. Don’t miss it if you enjoy some peace and quiet in the nature.
EEVGENII VOLKOVReally close to beach shore. I did dorm last time there and there was only one roomer with me. There was only two of us in 10 beds dorm so it was comfortable.
I need to pay 50 pesos to rent towel there. Pay just once then you it as long as you want. And also they don’t provide toothbrush for u. Got a water cooler in dorm with water but without glasses. Still good price-quantity ratio there.
RRIf you’re looking for a peaceful getaway surrounded by nature, with a refreshing atmosphere in a remote location and especially if you’re into advanced diving this is an excellent place to stay. We stayed for just 1 night, as we wanted to explore other activities and we’re not advanced divers, so we decided to change our plans.
A quick tip: prepare cash in advance. The nearest ATM is quite far from the resort, so you’ll need to take a tricycle or rent a motorbike. The resort only accepts cash.
The highlight for us was the stunning sea view and breathtaking sunset. The property isn’t very large, but with plenty of trees it feels secluded and peaceful. The food was also delicious.
KK.G.M.We loved staying in this location. Our room was right on the water, giving some breathtaking views morning and night. Lots of storage space and big bathroom. The hotel has a great diving center that also rents all kinds of snorkeling equipment too until later hours. Pool was clean and there was even a tipsy bar within it.
Our only issue was very low water pressure in the shower which made washing long hair ia bit challenging.
While you are away from the “mail” street in town, walk us about 8 min and there are few other hotels/ restaurants and activity companies located right next to hotel entrance
EEVGENIIA S.Мне очень понравились: шикарный риф у отеля, дружелюбные люди, забота и моя комната (после повышения). Спасибо семье Juliet и Deinis, что помогли организовать все экскурсии: черепахи, акулы, сардины. И отдельное спасибо из дочери, за то, что возила меня на байке )
Спасибо персоналу за великолепную заботу обо мне.
Но чекаут расстроил меня и я уехала грустная.
Минусы:
- Очень скудный завтрак
- Периодически нет горячей воды в номере
- Номера без звукоизоляции: грохот от шагов соседей сверху и звуки байка с улицы не давали спать
- В номере гекконы, также поют по ночам
- Бутилированная вода оказалась платной, об этом не предупредили
ผผู้เข้าพักThis is a budget-friendly room. The space is enough for couples. There’s not much amenities in the room though.
You can ask the staff to clean the room promptly. There are some small stores outside where you can buy some necessities, but if you wish to buy fast food, the center is a bit far from this location.
BBarry9012The good is that it was very clean and more accessible by car than many of the hotels in town. The bad is that there was no hot water because the outlet for the water heater shower was broken. They also had a menu of things you could buy but then they were out of most things. I spoke to another guest and they had the same complaints. We are also used to blankets with the bed, but only a sheet was provided.
